Even tho you may not realize this, technology and parking enforcement have always gone hand-in-hand. Is she crazy? might be crossing your mind about now. The short answer is yes, slightly crazy with a tinge of insanity - that's another post though.
Think about it. Parking enforcement was born the same time parking meters arrived on the scene back on July 16, 1935. (Happy 74th Birthday you mechanical parking enforcement Stud, you!) From that day forward, parking technology and parking management have been linked at the hip. When an obstacle presents itself to the industry, a parking solution is developed and the two move forward, hand in hand.
We've seen parking meters grow from those single space mechanical beauties to the sleek, solar powered, credit card enabled, multispace meters that are popping up in cities and on campuses worldwide.
The old handwritten ticket books are becoming a thing of the past with the new handheld parking ticket computers. No longer does a citation have to be tossed out because of a data entry error or illegible handwriting. The tickets are printed from the ticketwriter. Then citations are simply uploaded into a parking management system from the handheld. Done and done!
What does the future hold for parking enforcement and technology? The sky's the limit. But, sticking with a solution, and for that matter a technology based company, that has it's eyes on the future may not be all that bad of an idea.
